Anyone had experience of re-sealing master cylinder on hyster?
My problem is very poor pedal. I have replaced both wheel cylinders, re-lined shoes, bled & adjusted up. Still same.
I have just picked up M/C seal kit, removed master cylinder and stripped.
It looks like someone else has been in and re-sealed recently.
What I am not sure about is the direction of seals.
On the first (outer) piston both seals are facing inwards as expected, but on the inner piston the seals dont look right, the bottom seal is facing bottom of cylinder, & top seal is facing outer piston.
I have re-built exactly same but still have poor pedal.
Any help would be appreciated.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
